Abstract
Towards the end of the seventeenth century Newington Green was an isolated hamlet lying to the north of London in a heavily wooded area. Partly due to a sympathetic Lord of the Manor it became a refuge for nonconformists at a time when they were liable to imprisonment and even transportation (43, 50). Despite these penalties no records have been found of the mass arrest of worshippers as occurred at near-by Stoke Newington. Even more remarkable is that two Dissenting Academies were able to flourish. One was conducted by Theophilus Gale (1628-1678), a Calvinist who bequeathed his library to Harvard College, and the other was known as Morton’s Academy.
